There is currently a worm doing the rounds at the moment, which is impacting the performance of the internet around the world. The worm is designed to target known flaws in SQL Server, a database application produced by Microsoft. However, the worm scans so aggressively that it can actually affect the performance of your own internet experience. Those of you on broadband will probably be very likely targets and should look at blocking port 1434 on the UDP protocol if you have firewall functionality that supports specific settings. Otherwise, a general firewall such as McAfee Firewall or ZoneAlarm should do the trick. Those who do actually run SQL Server or MSDE (a desktop version of the server) should check they are patched as this is an exploit that has been known since July 2002.
Applicants must possess the drive and motivation to work towards stabilizing the ship, plan future activities and work with fellow Flag Officers in the Battlegroup. The position of Commodore is not to be underestimated. If you have any doubts as to your suitability for the position, then don't waste our time by applying. Applications should be sent to Vice Admiral Krax and Fleet Admiral Priyum with the subject RelCOM. You may include up to 3 references, two of which must be from current or former superiors. Ensure that you have their permission before listing them.
Remember to use the chain of command first when reporting complaints. Almost 2/3 of the time complaints are better handled by your superior officers. They can get them resolved faster since I have a large number of complaints and each of mine needs thorough investigations as I send people to the High Court of Inquisitors if I find them suspect. Also, do not send an entire log file of the channel. Including some of the log before incidents happened helps, but I do not need to see logs of several months before (or after) a violation.
One word: DO NOT include patches in your zip. Just either inform in readme.txt that your battle requieres patch and give link to SCO site or create patches.txt and state what/where there.
Due to low number of submissions, I've decided to move deadline, to next Sunday, January 12th. So you have additional week to submit your CABs to me.
Meantime winners of Phase 1 will be announced on EH Birthday.
I want to congratulate everyone who participiated in this WoW! It was one of the best (if not the best) WoW since I am COO! The overall Winner, LT Mykos, won 27 Games. Congratulations! Check out the WoW Site here.

You must address each criteria with supporting evidence. Simply saying "Yes, I can do that" will not be enough. Include specific examples of your experience. You should meet at least the essential criteria to be considered for the position. You will be expected to perform the core duties as listed and if you are unwilling to perform them, don't waste time by applying. You must include at least three (3) references. At least one must be a current or former superior (preferably current). Ensure you have their permission first. If it is found out that you did not gain permission, this will reflect upon your application in a negative light.
